KD-1975 Displacement Sensor |
Kaman Instrumentation manufactures a range
of high precision transducers/sensors specifically for extreme
environment applications. These include three displacement and
two pressure sensors.
These high temperature products were initially designed for
NASA and the nuclear power industry-applications requiring high
reliability accuracy, and structural integrity The same engineering
skill and technology that went into our 1100°C microphone
for measuring the dB level of jet engine exhaust noise, in the
exhaust, went into the design and manufacture of this superior
line of high temperature products.

One of the first members of this product range was an
early pressure sensor, developed almost twenty years ago,
for the then Atomic Energy Commission to measure pressure
build-up in controlled reactor core melt-down tests. This
product evolved into the KP-1911 High Temperature Pressure
Sensor.
Kaman originally developed the High Temperature Displacement
Sensor to measure steam turbine shaft runout in nuclear
reactors. They are also used to measure nuclear fuel rod
position and vibration, since inductive sensors are unaffected
by radiation and most other environmental contaminants.
This specialised range of high temperature sensors features
precise operation at up to 600°C continuous, 640°C
short term. They have resolution and repeatability comparable
to our conventional line of high precision measuring systems.
Kaman Instrumentation is the only company to make a high
temperature pressure transducer with frequency response
to DC. We make the only high temperature displacement
transducers for a steam and water environment All of our
high temperature transducers are made with sealed, all
laser welded, Inconel cases and use metal jacketed mineral-insulated
cable. The KP-1911 measures pressure up to 5000 psi. The
displacement transducers withstand pressures: KD-1925
>5000 psi; KD-1950 and KD-1975 up to 3500 psi.
